8-WHEELED WONDER
proportions, the bolts in the rear were scaled up to 7/8-inch on the 30s. Powder coated a bright silvery white, the wheels are functional as well as an example of innovative engineering at its most creative.
José spent seven months on his latest effort. While the dozens of subtle details might have delayed the finish, most enthusiasts realize it’s worth the extra time, an idea underscored the first time you see spectators mesmerized by the wealth of details. Now that the build is complete, José was both surprised and gratified by the reception the truck has received. He and his truck have already been invited to several big name shows as the featured vehicle and he plans to enjoy showing and driving the latest addition to his collection for years to come. Special thanks to Juan (Veneno) Garcia for his overall assistance with the build, Rolando (Puro) Perez, the ace mechanic, Carlos A. Avelar, idea man and creator of the unique patina paint, and Frank Carralero, wheel designing guru and air suspension expert.
